Quality and safety are key considerations in every aspect of our care. Fort HealthCare routinely provides information to many healthcare quality monitoring and reporting organizations. We report on how our patients respond to treatment so we can compare our quality to similar hospitals. This helps us to establish goals for improving the care we provide.

The New Consumerism – Quality Rankings are Available

Our constant striving to provide the highest quality care is a central component of our mission and core commitments. By committing to quality and safety, we can provide exceptional, compassionate care.

In these days of Internet access and search engines, it is not difficult for healthcare consumers to find quality rankings for local healthcare providers. We at Fort HealthCare encourage our patients to learn as much as possible about health conditions before and after they seek care – including the quality of care provided by area hospitals and physicians.

Similarly, employers are becoming both cost and quality conscious – recognizing that healthy, educated employees make for healthy bottom lines.

As cost- and quality-consciousness have grown within society, so too has the opportunity to learn more about healthcare providers. This section of the Fort HealthCare website describes many of the quality monitoring organizations to which we contribute our patient outcome data. We encourage you, our patient, concerned family member, or area employer to review Fort HealthCare’s information – whether concerning patient satisfaction or our adherence to guidelines for providing state-of-the-art medical treatments. Organizations and their websites that may be useful to you are described below. These include:
